Dominicans Shoot At Opposition
SANTOS DOMINGO, Dominican Republic Infantrymen on the lead
tank of a five-tank column opened fire with sidearms Tuesday on
opposition demontrations in independence park.
First indications were that they killed at least four persons and
wounded many others. More than 10 opposition members were in the
park listening to National Civic Union demands for the immediate
ouster of President Joaquin Balaguer.
This correspondent stood less than a block away as the bullets mow
ed down civilians fleeing through the park. It was hard to determine
casualties immediately but there were numerous persons lying on the
ground.
At least four persons appeared dead. They were lying in pools of
blood. Others, wounded, were hdped from the scene and taken to
various clinics and hospitals.
Tanks Withdrawn In Berlin
BERLIN The U. S. Army Tuesday withdrew tanks and armored
cars from the East-West Berlin border area to what it called better
positions about a mile back. At the same time, the Russians stepped
up patrols along the 25-mile anti-refugee wall.
The U. S. force of some ten tanks and five armored cars began
withdrawing "to improve the dispositions of the U. S. forces in the
American sector," an Army statement said.
The armored force had been half mile from ''Checkpoint Charlie"
at the Friedrichstrasse border crossing point. It took up new positions
Tuesday at Tempelhof Air Base, about a mile and one half from the
border.
Slcnnis Promises Full Inquiry
WASHINGTON Chairman John C. Stennis declared on Tuesday
that his special Senate subcommittee will spare no government de
partment and no individual in its inquiry into alleged suppression of
anti-communist views of military officers.
The Mississippi Democrat stressed, however, that military officers
in alerting their men to the menace of communism, must avoid "parti
san politics. Stennis discussed the forthcoming study by a special
armed services subcommittee in a letter to constituents.
He promised to "get all the real facts" in the hearings which start
Jan. 23, "letting the chips fall where they might." He said he was
told Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara that the hearing will
be exhaustive "with nothing held back."
Adoula Makes Massacre Charge
LEOPOLD VILLE, The Congo Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula said
Tuesday he has received reports that troops loyal to Communist-leaning
Antoine Gizenga have massacred 11 white missionaries and 7 'Afri
can Roman Catholic nuns.
Adoula also announced that he has fired Gizenga, the dissident
Stanleyville strongman, as vice premier of the Central Congolese gov
ernment. His action- fallowed parliment's censure of Gizenga for not
answering charges of abuse of power.
"Gambling Pays For Other Crimes"
WASHINGTON Prostitution, narcotics, corruption of public officials
and other organized crime are financed in part by "immense pro
fits, of gambling Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy told Congress Tues
day. Testifying at a standing-room only hearing, Kennedy urged the
House. Commerce Committee to approve a bill that would make it
illegal to ship across state lines roulette wheels, pinball machines
used for cash payoffs and other gambling devices.
Two pinball machines, one for gambling and one for amusement
were set up behind the witness chair to show committee members
the difference.

Dutch Claim 50
Indonesians Held
Following Attack
HOLLONDIA, Dutch New
Guinea ( UPI ) The Dutch govern
ment said Tuesday that 50 Indo
nesians seized after a naval bat
tle Monday night would be held
as prisoners of war.
The Dutch, in quick reaction to
what they termed an invasion
attempt by the Indonesians; or
dered a bolstering of this colony's
defenses and extended the serv
ice periods of troops currently
stationed on this disputed territory.
In Jakarta, U. S. Ambassador
Howard P. Jones met with Indo
nesian Foreign Minister Subandrio
in the wake of the naval clash off
New Guinea in which Indonesian
authorities said, one Indonesian
navy vessel was sunk and another
abandoned after it was set afire
by Dutch warships.
Warns Against Conflict "
Jones was believed to have cau
tioned Subandrie against armed
conflict and urged the Indonesians
instead to seek a peaceful set
tlement of Indonesia's claim to
Dutch-held West New Guinea.
An official Indonesian navy an
nouncement accused the Dutch of
starting the clash without warning.
Army spokesman Lt. Col. Sun-
jaro said the Dutch action in firing
on the ships was a "challenge"
and a "provication to war."
Observers in Jakarta feared the
clash might incite President Suk
arno to retaliate militarily, either
by sea or air strikes, against Dutch
positions in New Guinea, thus
touching off fighting that could ser
iously endanger the stability of the
southeast Asian area.

yerly Assesses Virginia's Governor;
Disclaims
By JOE DcBLASIO
Assistant Professors Ken Byerly
of the School of Journalism stated
that the "Byrd Machine" in Vir
ginia does not really exist as it is
conceived presently in the public's
mind.
Mr. Bycrly was discusing the re
cent campaign and inauguration of
the new governor of Virginia, Al
bertis S. Harrison, Jr. The journa
lism professor was director of pub
licity for Governor Harrison dur
ing the primary this summer.
"The Byrd Machine is not really
a machine it is a fraternity." said
Mr. Bycrly. "Most of the public
visualizes the machine as a group
of old men who control all of Vir
ginia politics. This is not so. This
recent election was not controlled
3 UNC Students
Defy Old Legend;
Don't Find Devil
"You guys can sleep if you want
to," said UNC freshman Donald
Day, "But if anything moves, I
want to see it."
This is how Day and two other
UNC students began an all night
watch Monday night a watch for
the Devil.
Their watch was held at the
"Devil's Tramping Ground" where,
according to legend, the Devil
comes each night to meditate. The
legend also says that no one has
ever spent a whole night there be
fore. Monday night, however, the Dev
il apparently didn't show up.
"It really disappointed us," said
Jim Singletary. "because I don't
think we scared him away. I think
someone is pulling a big joke."
The ' Devil's Tramping Ground'
is located about 30 miles from
Chapel Hill near Bear Creek, N. C.
It consists of a circle about 40 ft.
in diameter, where nothing will
grow.
The circle sits in a clearing in a'
thickly wooded area off a lonely
country road. Grass grows in the
clearing up to the edge of the
circle and stops. A test, run by
state agriculture experts indicated
that the soil within the circle is
sterile. - -
Day, Singletary and Phil Han
cock built a fire at the edge of the
circle which lighted the entire
clearing. They saw and heard noth
ing except for some dogs which
howled all night.
The students have therefore con
cluded that the legend is a -hoax.
Except for one thing, that is.' '
"It was a good, clear night,"
Singletary said, "and the moon
was out. About 10 o'clock, how
ever, we heard something that
sounded like thunder which lasted
for about an hour."
So maybe the old boy showed up
after all.
Vast Army Change
Asked BvKenriedv
WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi
dent Kennedy Tuesday sent Con
gress a major streamlining of the
Army that abolishes such historic
offices as the quartermaster gen
eral and creates two new com
mands. The controversial program vir
tually eliminates the Army's his
toric technical services as sepa
rate agencies.
Instead, almost all operations
except training will be lumped
under the new commands that
may be headed by full generals.
The technical services will be
branches under these commands.
The shift will leave the pres
ent Army general staff largely in
a planning and policy-making role.
Kennedy passed on the reorgan
ization proposals to Congress ear
ly in the day. They will become
effective unless vetoed by the Sen
ate on House Armed Service
Committees within 30 days.
Stahr Lists Objectives
Army Secretary Elvis J. Stahr
Jr. said the objectives of the re
organization include getting rid of
"excessive fragmenting and dupli
cating of functions," and to "con
solidate responsibilities."
He also said it is designed to
take into account military ad
vance since the last Army reorgan
ization in 1953, to provide broader
technical opportunities and to re
lieve his office of functions that
can be handled by subordinate
units.
Stahr estimated it will take 18

Sound Government
"The men who are in Virginia

added, "that Harry Byrd has giv
en Virginia a sound government
and has been a good example for
all politicians in Virginia." This,
Mr. Byerly feels, is the essence of
the "Byrd Fraternity".
Concerning the "old men" that
are supposedly controlled by Sena

he was a full ten years older than
the four top men in Governor. Har

Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc
Namara said the major land forc
es have played a significant role
in the past, and that he believed
they will play "a much larger
role in the strategy of the future."
"The whole purpose of the re
organization is to strengthen the
Army so that it will be better pre
pared to assume this more signi

Top-Level Reshuffle
Stahr emphasized at a news
conference that the far-reaching
reorganization is a top-level re
shuffle which does not concern
most field installations. "Below
headquarters, installations and
peronnel by and large are undis

Under the plan, tthe Army will

the Governor, My Byerly studied
his speeches carefully and then
gave his prediction on how the
press would accept them.
Mr. Byerly advised the governor
frequently as he traveled with him
for the entire campaign. During
this time he discussed the publicity
and the news value angle of the
campaign with Governer Harrison.
Governor Harrison is 55 years
old, born in Lawrenceville and edu
cated at the University of Virginia
where he received a law degree.
In 1948 he was elected to the Vir

was elected Attorney General. He

past weekend, Governor Harrison
said that the three important
thing that he wanted for Virginia
were a better educational system
both basic and secondary, a step
ped up industrial program to im
prove Virginia's prospering manu
facturing and a continued integrity
in the government of Virginia.
Governor Harrison feels that the
schools in Virginia arc now good
but that they must be continually
improved upon. He thinks that this
would involve all phases of educa
tion from equipment to teacher's
pay. Mr. Byerly feels that he will
give distinct recommendations to
the legislature to achieve this goal
Mr. Byerly thinks that Harrison
will be a good governor and feels
that he is a very capable man for
the job.

Meanwhile another senior, Char
les Brown, finds the Geology
Building to his liking. He says,
"It's my second home."
"Who's right? Probably every
one.
The library may seem noisy be
cause of overcrowding. The head
librarian, Dr. Jerrold Orne is con
cerned about it. "There should be
enough seats for not less than 40
per cent of the student body," he
says. "Today we have less than
20 per cent.
"The defeat of the bond issue
set us back two years in our abili
ty to seat students. The issue was
primarily meant to supply us with
additional seats. It was for people
space, not book space. That means
we'll be an awful lot more crowd
ed before relief."
Overcrowded Dorms
The dormitories are overcrowded
too. Construction crews will prob
ably have that problem licked
by next fall though. By then, Er
ringhaus and Craig dorms will be
completed.
IDC representative Joe Isaacs
makes another point acoustics
He says, "They're so bad in Park
er, Avery and Teague that you
have to be unfair to the boys
there. Almost any noise can be
heard."
However, dorms are quieter now
than they once were. That's the
opinion of George V. Strong, As
sistant Dean of Student Affairs.
"They were like 'Blackboard
Jungle' in my undergraduate days
I came here in 1951.
"The IDC has cracked down and
they've done an outstanding job
Jim Gauldin (President of the
IDC) has taken it very seriously.
"We have complaints. Some
times people who complain don't
help things any. They don't do
much except complain."
Women and Greeks
Pam Parker, head of the Wo
men's Residence Council, agrees
with those remarks. "Generally
it's been pretty quiet. There's al
ways some noise every year. They
don't mean to be noisy though.
They just don't think about it."
